*For runs greater than 75' up to 125', use the next
wire size larger to keep the voltage drop to less than
3%. For runs greater than 125', consult the National
Electrical Code Handbook to help determine the proper
wire size.
**2/0 wire ambient temperature must be kept at less
than 104°F (40°C).
OPERATING
Food will cook much faster with a Top-Side™ Cooker
than with a griddle alone. Watch food while cooking or
use timers to ensure food will not be overcooked.
OPERATION OF THE TOP-SIDE™ COOKER SHOULD BE
LIMITED TO PERSONNEL THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN OP-
ERATING PROCEDURES.
CONDITIONING THE TOP-SIDE™ MIRACLEAN®
SURFACE
The Miraclean® surface has been “seasoned” at the
factory. The chrome surface when heated creates a
thin layer of chrome oxide which acts as a releasing
agent for food products. If you feel you need to recon-
dition the surface, the following instructions should be
followed:
1. Follow cleaning instructions on page 4.
2. Heat the Miraclean® to 400°F for one hour.
3. Lower thermostat to 350°F, allowing the Miraclean®
to cool to about 350°F, as is evident when griddle
cycles on or surface thermometer indicates correct
temperature.
4. Lightly coat the Miraclean® surface with griddle oil.
NOTE:
Despite the food releasing properties, the
chrome surface is not a true “non-stick” surface. For
best cooking results and product appearance, use
griddle oil for products that require the surface to be
conditioned.
COOKING
1. Turn ON/OFF switch to “ON” position.
NOTE:
Because of the superior heating characteristics
and heat retention properties found in the Miraclean®
surface, operating temperatures should be set 10°F to
25°F below conventional griddles.
2. Press and hold the “Push to Set” button on the
thermostat and adjust the knob to the desired tem-
perature. The new temperature will be entered after 3
seconds. Red “ELEMENT ON” light will illuminate when
the element is on.
NOTE:
To increase temperature, adjust knob clockwise.
To decrease, adjust knob counterclockwise.

COOKING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Keating’s Top-Side™ Cooker has been designed to
allow you infi nite height adjustments from 1/8" to
1-1/2" (approximately 3mm to 38mm). An adjusting
knob allows fast and precise height adjustment.
Clockwise movement of the knob will decrease the
spacing; counter clockwise movement will increase the
spacing. Each turn of the adjusting knob represents
1/8" (approximately 3mm) movement.
Experimentation will give you the best cooking height
for each type of food product. The cooking head
should contact the product fi rmly to ensure optimum
heat distribution without fl attening the product.
